The Green Bay Packers are hosting the Washington Commanders to kickoff Week 2 on Thursday Night Football. Both teams should be considered NFC powerhouses and the winner of this could could end up with a critical tiebreaker when the playoff seeding comes around.
Kickoff is set for Thursday, September 11, 2025 at 6:15 p.m. Mile High time at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin and will air on Prime Video.
According to FanDuel, the Packers are slight 3-point favorites over the visiting Commanders. I am super tempted to go with the Commanders here, but I’d be a dang fool to go against a Packers team at home coming off a massive division win last week. I think in that context, we have a close game early and a big play decides it late to end it.
Prediction: Packers 26, Commanders 21
